Crazy Temps!

Hey everyone! So last month my chart looked pretty good (at least to me, with that being the first time I'd ever charted lol). This month, things are CRAZY. I got a +OPK on Monday, but I was also SUPER sick with either a stomach virus or food poisoning. My temp went way up Monday, due to the illness, and then back down yesterday and down even more today. I'll try to post a link to my chart...my ticker link doesn't work. Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for your reply! I don't really pay attention to my CM, although I know I should. I'll keep an eye on it over the next few days, though, and if I notice EWCM I'll go ahead and test with an OPK again. I did test last night just to see, and it was negative. I'm guessing my temps will dip again if I am going to O later due to being sick? *sigh* This is quite frustrating.

I've been on Progesterone since CD16 of last cycle, as you can see. My Progesterone level was 4.9 when my OB sent me for bloodwork after talking about having trouble conceiving. I did have my thyroid checked last year, before we decided to TTC again, after mentioning to my family doctor that I was having trouble losing weight. My thyroid did come back fine, although I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get it checked again.

Is it possible that I did O on/around Monday even though my chart says no? DH and I were DTD every day, but I think we may go to an every other day plan for a little bit as not to get burnt out.

Thanks again for your input!

Hrmmm... your doctor has you staying on progesterone throughout your entire cycle? Not just during your LP (time from O to AF)? I'm wondering if that is making things wonky... I've never heard of staying on progesterone your whole cycle... I'm thinking it would keep you from Oing since usually your progesterone levels aren't high between AF and O. All about learning something new!

He had me start CD16 last cycle and said if I didn't get pregnant to keep taking it. If I don't get pregnant this cycle, I'll stop when AF shows and call him...since it will be my 3rd cycle anyway, and after 3 cycles he's sending me to an RE.

Yea, I noticed the continuous progesterone too and thought that it could be keeping her temps low.

Well, I decided to discard that crazy high temp on the day I got the +OPK and was super sick...and FF put my O day on CD16. Hopefully it all works out :)
